Once you're done designing, cutting, building, painting, and wearing your armor, it's gotta go somewhere to get it back home and to the next con safely. How is everyone storing their gear for transport and between conventions?
I don't think I've seen this discussed yet, but I'm sure people have their own methods based on the sheer number of costumes made here. Right now I've got my ODST set in a very large Sterlite container (the biggest one I own, since the torso doesn't collapse), but I'm still trying to find ways to store my helmet away in an easily-transportable method. It's currently sitting in a cardboard box wrapped in bubble wrap, but that's not really an ideal mode of transport. I feel like it needs more protection than a typical motorcycle helmet bag would give it, but I'm a little hesitant to just buy another plastic tub to toss it into for some reason I can't quite articulate.
